Abstract:
Traumatic pulmonary pseudocyst is a very rare consequence of blunt chest trauma characterized by formation of cystic like parenchymal lesions. Generally multiple and bilateral distribution is more rare than a single localization. The computed tomography (CT) scan has an higher diagnostic value compared with conventional chest X-ray. Prognosis of traumatic pseudocysts is generally good with benign clinical course and spontaneous resolution within several months. However initial strictly patient follow-up is necessary to early discover and treat potentially severe complications. Utility of chest magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to exclude potentially severe infectious complications is described. Any complications required percutaneous drainage or surgical resection.

Cystic Fibrosis: Pathogenesis
CF is primarily caused by a genetic mutation in a chromosome 7 gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. The most common gene mutation leading to CF is the ΔF508 mutation, but...
